It is September 8, 2024, where the family and friends of Teena gather at this cozy yet opulent chapel to witness her very special day by the Port of Santa Barbara.

The room is filled with white and red roses. Each table setting is decorated with a graphics ballroom dancers silhouette standup. This elegant ship just embarked San Francisco two days ago for a 7-day California Coastal Cruise on board Crown Princess.

This cruise brings enriching activities with endless options, relaxing pursuits to Broadway-style/world-class entertainment and gourmet cuisine! Why not Princess? Exotic shores and uncharted adventure awaits everyone!

Teena is swept away by her soon-to-be world-class husband who shares her passions for travel, adventure, laughter and dance!

I am Captain Tony Draper here to interview Teena to sense the adventure of her wildest dreams!

(Captain): Teena, I am intrigued by your love story and would love to share it with all your guests and introduce both of you! How did you meet your fiancé?

(Teena): We met at The Ballroom of Sacramento. It was truly MAGICAL!!! We laughed and danced the night away to West Coast Swing, Cha Cha, Country 2Step, Waltz, NightClub 2Step and other dances!

We shared stories of our desire for travel, dance, music and the arts, something we share. We explored the possibility of cruising with endless dancing. Not to mention, we both play musical instruments. Two hearts found their Happy Place!

(Captain): I know that you have been passionate about dance at a very young age. Did you think you would fall in love on the dance floor?

(Teena): It was a dream of mine to have that love/dance partnership several years ago. I buried that dream. However, starting the Master Key Experience, it opened more possibilities for having that in my future!

I was enlightened with so much hope as it became clear that the dream can come to fruition with daily affirmations and visualization, having that ideal partnership with someone on and off the dance floor. Not to mention, marrying the person I can’t live without!

(Captain): I know that you sit on the Advisory Board of Push Dance Company in SF and have served in several dance companies as well. Why is that important to you? What is your mission?

(Teena): I strongly advocate the importance of health and wellness. I witness pure joy in people as they learn a dance or two. I like helping dance companies fulfill their mission by fundraising and providing audiences an opportunity to examine issues of identity and intersecting cultures that surround and affect us all.

PUSH has presented countless works of untold stories of individuals from unique and overlooked communities. I feel that I bring something of value to the companies and dancers.

(Captain): You mentioned that you both would like to perform a partner dance at the variety show tonight! It is all set up with the Program Director! What dance will you entertain us with?

(Teena): I am so excited about it! It is a surprise…you’ll see! The Piazza also awaits our performance of NightClub 2Step to “Hero” by Enriques Iglesias tomorrow night.

(Captain): Thank you for choosing Crown Princess. I know that you are an avid traveler with Princess as well as other cruise lines! Where have you traveled with us? Where is your next destination?

(Teena): Mexico, Hawaii and Central California. However, I traveled with other cruises to other areas. We booked a 10-day Alaska trip on Ruby Princess in September 2025.

(Captain): It looks like your immediate family is here in attendance. Was it also your dream to pay for this trip for them?

(Teena): Yes! I am a licensed financial professional educating people about financial literacy. I give people hope for a better financial future, change their lives, make big money, travel the world and have FUN! My family loves cruises and they deserve an unforgettable vacation!

(Captain): We ensure that you, your family and friends have an awe-inspiring week of marital bliss! So excited you chose to celebrate with us!

(Teena): Thank you so much! Now let’s get on with the ceremony and get this party started! Happy Dancing!!!
